Norwegian band Gehenna was formed in early 1993, with the recording of their cult 'Black Seared Heart' demo taking place later that same year, followed shortly by the release of the debut 7" 'Ancestors of the Darkly Sky'. Gehenna became known for their melodic and grim black metal, with symphonic elements adding greatly to the atmosphere of the music, particularly on early releases. The band's style progressed over the years, taking on more death and thrash metal elements at times before returning to black metal.

Gehenna saw the light of day already back in 1993 and are one of the original founders of true Norwegian Black Metal. With 6 albums and 2 EP`s on their soul scarred conscience, they have made an profound impact on today's black metal scene. Gehenna has explored the boundaries of the genre but always stayed true, no doubt one of the main reasons for their cult-like status. Now its time to re-release their old classics.

These two bands need no introduction as they team up on this long-awaited split that featured two tracks from long-time West Coast thrash metal/hardcore lords Gehenna and one track from the timeless Integrity.

It`s finally here.
Having kept us waiting since their 2005 release of "WW", "Unravel" is Gehenna's latest addition to the Norwegian black metal experience.
It carries the spirit from WW, and twists it to confront a more post-apocalyptic era  rather than the ragnarok of the bourgeoise, the individual, and the failings of western society  Gehenna faces 21st century existence head on.
There is no remorse, no compromise  there is only perfect hate.
Gehenna was formed in 1993, and were part of the 2nd wave of Norwegian Black Metal.
They recorded their Black Seared Heart demo in May of that year, and soon caught a lot of attention in the underground.
Two of the tracks from this demo were released as a 7" vinyl titled Ancestors of the Darkly Sky shortly after.
Gehenna also caught the attention of Metalion of the legendary Slayer Mag, and penned a deal with him to release the mini-album First Spell on his label Head Not Found in 1994.
After First Spell, Gehenna signed with London-based Cacophonous Records (also early Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir), and released Seen through the Veils of Darkness (1995) and Malice (1996) on this label.
Following the tour in 1996, new label negotiations took place, and Gehenna penned a deal with Moonfog Productions (also Darkthrone, Satyricon) for their next albums Adimiron Black (1998), Murder (2000) and WW (2005).
These three albums have later been re-released on Peaceville Records.
In 2008, Gehenna signed with Indie Recordings, and released an upgraded version of First spell in 2009.
Indie Recordings will release Unravel, Gehenna`s first new studioalbum since 2005`s WW October 14 worldwide!
